Ski touring tour in Sweden

Ski touring in natural snow conditions
A native and experienced ski guide with the best knowledge of survival in winter conditions and the wild animals in the forest, leads you on nice and exciting ski touring in the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve and wilderness.
When the winter darkness covers the wild forest, you will eat a two course dinner in the light of candles at the Wilderness Lodge. The food is always locally produced with many ingredients from the forest.
